Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is the second movie starring Daniel Craig as grasp sleuth Benoit Blanc. This time, Blanc winds up on a Greek island in the course of the Covid pandemic, the place he’s the one outsider amongst a bunch of longtime associates — the remainder of the forged contains Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, and Kathryn Hahn.

It’s additionally a really humorous comedian thriller; undoubtedly funnier (and perhaps higher general) than Knives Out. From ScreenCrush’s assessment of the movie:
The secret of an excellent homicide thriller is a combination of complexity and solvability. The case must be dense sufficient that it will probably’t be discovered earlier than the answer is revealed — however as soon as the answer is revealed, it must really feel like the reply was staring the viewers within the face your complete time. So the concept of a glass onion — with its densely packed however clear layers — works completely as a metaphor not only for this explicit Benoit Blanc detective story however for just about each entry within the whodunit style. And although Glass Onion is author/director Rian Johnson’s second whodunit (or third, if you happen to rely his debut movie, Brick), this looks like his definitive work on this type, throwing every thing he’s discovered up to now, and every thing he desires to say, into a particularly satisfying and surprisingly well timed thriller.
